Thank you. Where are changes made to files synced with LR Web located? In the library Lr? Or in XMP files somewhere? By @Rogner   In the catalogue ("library").   And one more thing - can I rename the subfolder where the files are stored that is named by date? By @Rogner   Yes. Prefixing the folder name with the date (in something like YYYYMMDD format) is good practice. ... View more

OK, and if I have synced photos in Collections in LR Classic, can I delete them on the iPad in LR Web? By @Rogner   Do it in LrClassic by removing them from All Synced Photos or by deleting the collection after moving the photos.   This is less work than checking between LrC and iPad/LrWeb before you delete them, and is less risky. ...

Moving photos into folders has to be done manually, especially if you are doing something arbitrary like making folders match collections.   But you can tell LrC to sync new photos into specific date-based folders - this is in Preferences - and generally date-based folders are best. ... View more

There's no automatic way. You'll have to do it manually. ... View more

The only downside of LrW is the photos don't seem to be color-managed properly by browsers, as I am noticing different color rendering in different browsers (eg. Firefox and Chrome, maybe Safari will be better?)   Regardless, LrW's convenience provides another convenient option when only small albums or quick shares are needed, so thanks for your reminder! By @TopAdobeFan   Safari should be color-managed, at least on Mac, and Firefox has a config setting which you should be able to switch (Google about:config). Of course, while you might be able to set up color management for yourself, you never know what browser your visitor may be using, or if they have a calibrated environment, and I'm not sure if iPads and iPhones are color managed. ...

    Why hasn't Adobe come up with something more automated so far? Or do LrC users in general don't care about sharing? By @TopAdobeFan   You don't need to have LrD to share photos while away. For example, you might have LrC on the laptop and share selected photos using LrWeb. At the end of the trip, select all the trip's photos, do an Export as Catalog on the laptop and Import from Another Catalog on the desktop (no need for your step 3). You'll get all your edit history, keywords and other metadata that Adobe decided not to sync. A lot less dragging and dropping, and you'll be doing metadata etc a little at a time while you're away, rather than in one big task when you return home. ... View more

LRD doesn't have edit history, but is it hidden in xmp files that can be seen by LRC later?   No, it's not hidden anywhere - it doesn't exist.     If I create Collections with the travel LRC cataglog on the laptop, when it comes time to export my new travel photos, will the Collections be exported together with the new photos?  Is it easier to retain the Collections made on the road with LRC or with LRD?   Yes, if you use File > Import from Another Catalog on the desktop, after doing a File > Export as Catalog on the laptop. Try it - it's quite obvious, and this LrC-only workflow retains everything that you do in LrC.   If you wish to use LrD on the road, Collections will simply sync into your LrC catalog. So that can be less work. But then you're really going to need to use LrD, you'd not have any editing history and smart collections, and you'd have to see if you can get your head around using one app on the laptop, a different one on the desktop. ...

Paul   Is there nothing like a Wacom or other tablet device? I've seen reports of some of these producing extremely high amounts of data and producing symptoms similar to yours.   And in Catalog Settings, this automatic setting is disabled? Those reports seem to happen when it is enabled.   Could you try that alternative way of selecting the window, where you would use the Objects method, draw a rectangle around the window, and then add an Intersect which would allow you to target the frame's tones and exclude the panes (or vice versa).       John   ...

What device - mouse, tablet etc - are you using to make these brush strokes?   And have enabled automatic saving to xmp? Also, what is the file type?   For that window, have you tried using the Object selection method, possibly with intersect if you're trying to select the glass or the frame? ... View more

You can use Classic without syncing - that's how it began. Then export as original - this produces a raw file plus an xmp file - and import into Cloudy Lightroom. You can then delete the file in Classic.   The key will be that Classic won't be synced. Deleting a file in a synced Classic catalogue will delete the synced version. Deleting it in a catalogue that isn't synced won't do so.   I'm not sure that it's a wonderfully efficient or desirable workflow, but you can work this way if you really wish. ... View more

No, I think you have explored all the options.   Assuming that you are using a graphic, you might be able to create a PNG that fools LR. For example, the file might have what looks like a blank area on one side, but which actually contains a neutral-coloured pixel. LR would then position it including this area, but no viewer would notice the pixel. ... View more

If you need this only for one image at a time, I can see why it would be annoying not to be able to copy from the Will Export view by right clicking and choosing Copy. Unfortunately I don't think you can do it without a plugin or script.   If you're needing to transfer keyword or any data in bulk to the other application, look at the LrTransporter plugin which is designed for this task. If it's just a one-by-one need, my Search & Replace plugin can transfer the Keywords (Will Export) to another field, from where the text could be manually copied. ... View more

This is happening because, as it says, the other catalogue is too new for the version of LrC on your computer.   My guess is that LrC is shown as up-to-date because your computer's operating system is now too old to update to the latest version. So we need to know your version of LrC and the OS.   In LrC, please go to Help > System Info, copy the first 10 lines from the dialog box and paste them here. ... View more

I see you can export the keywords into a CSV format. Is there a way to Export/ rearange and reimport the updates? By @ronbyram   Not really. Yes, you can export the list and tidy it up in an external editor, Excel for example. And you can reimport the restructured keyword file too. The problem is making your photos use the new-structure keywords. That quickly gets messy, and there's quite a risk of removing the old keywords from photos without adding back the keyword from the new structure.   In general, do any keyword list restructuring in LrC itself. ...

I believe there is a recent bug in LR's export post-processing - the code that tells plugins to do something to exported files. Not all plugins would be affected, but post-processing plugins would be -  and that would include MW.   I'd be surprised if this isn't fixed in the next LR update. ... View more

So rather than the original blanket assertion, it's just a point about special circumstances. Maybe better to post precise details in a new thread?   But though this is a LrClassic forum, I agree about the backup weakness of a purely cloudy environment. ... View more

Apparently no more XMP data is being exported at the moment. By @Christoph33568722ti8g   Not true. There is a recent change in when/how it gets saved, but it's still happening.   This means that anyone who exports and then deletes their images will have problems restoring them. By @Christoph33568722ti8g   Also not accurate. People should rely on catalogue backups, not xmp which is more for interchange with other apps than it is for backup. The catalogue backup contains all the work on your images - xmp does not. ... View more

Now the Import process has "completed", is your "stalling at about 4001" still a problem? Does LR now record 32652 files?   What is special about those 10 files? Examine them individually and maybe try importing them again - what error message is there?   ... View more

Your second option is the more practical - in LrC you just pick the photos to add to a collection, ensure it's synced, and then access them on the iPad. Technically, you could sync the entire catalogue this way without running into storage limits (smart previews don't count) This gives you smart previews which are usually good enough, and your adjustments or flag/rating/title/caption would simply sync both ways, though I'd always do the fine tuning in LrC. But don't do any keywording on the iPad - Adobe decided not to allow them to sync.   You can also import the raws into the iPad, for example from a flash card to USBC/Lightning etc converter or via a cable from the camera. If those photos are already synced (as smart previews above) LrM is smart enough to match up the raw with the sync item. ... View more

thanks, Yes you can P.M  By @Takeone.Digital By "PM" I meant PhotoMechanic ... View more

The main trick to speed this process up is to import with embedded previews. This saves enormous amounts of time as you don't need your compiter to do any unnecessary processing of raws you will never even edit. Also delaying going into develop as long as you can will help enormously because you (or your computer) end up again not doing any work that is not needed. Culling in Lightroom Classic is not as fast as photomechanic for sure but with this approach you get pretty close.  By @Jao vdL   I very much agree with this.   Another aspect is what is meant by "processing". PhotoMechanic might be great at making keep or reject decisions, also at adding metadata, but it cannot adjust images. And in many cases one does need to make some adjustments to images before you can decide whether they are worth keeping - maybe the night shots you mention. Lightroom of course allows you to do that, as well as the rest of the post processing. Would PM add anything? ... View more
